On- Campus Employment

On-Campus employment is defined as work done on the premises of the university campus.

A J-1 student may be authorized to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full time during summer and official University holiday breaks for on-campus employment. Students who already have assistantships considered to be equivalent to 20 hours a week are not eligible for additional on-campus employment.
If 绿帽换妻 issued your DS-2019, you must obtain approval from the CIE office before beginning any on-campus employment.
Once you have completed your academic program, you are no longer eligible for on-campus employment unless you have obtained employment authorization based on academic training.

Academic Training is work, training, or experience related to a student's field of study.

Although a J-1 student may work part time or full time, all academic training is counted full time, even if the employment/training is on a part-time basis.
You must have a job offer in the field of your study and obtain a written recommendation for academic training from your academic advisor in order to apply for academic training with CIE.
The time you are authorized for academic training before your program completion will be subtracted from the total time of academic training for which you are eligible.
- Time allotted may not exceed "the period of full course of study" or 18 months, whichever is shorter.
- Completing more than one degree program does not increase your academic training period.
